The Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit, but people still find creative ways to crap all over them for some reason.

Someone else in this thread said they were "supporting the closed internet" by sending search queries to Google.

Yup, this kind of criticism happens all the time. It's good to point out -- but a lot of people treat it like a deal-killer, which is the height of naivete.
